Solar power alone won't solve energy or climate needs - 0 views

The point here is not to diminish the value and positive contribution that solar can make towards reducing our dependence on fossil fuels to help achieve a global energy transition towards a low carbon energy future. The hype needs to be tempered by a realistic assessment of the emerging energy demand at the global level and the effective capability of meeting growth in energy demand on a very large scale. You don't want to get conscripted to the view that one energy option—solar—is the sole answer, and it also happens to be an option that does not deliver large volumes of energy from the installed base. Why is this relevant? The urgency for implementing effective low-carbon energy solutions is all but fully acknowledged and recognized by all the countries of the world (except the current U.S. administration).

The article mentions the importance of not relying on solar power to solve all of our climate issues. Even though solar power can definitely be a great tool to alleviate climate change, other measures need to be taken to have an actual impact.

I totally agree with your comment "@cvera019" . There have been a great trend into sustainable practices in the lodging industry however is important to also keep a balance between covering the necesseties of the lodging business and achieving a more environmental friendly practice.
